The best way to get started with Conky is to install Conky Manager and then import the theme pack provided. This will give you a ton or preconfigured choices although any of them can be edited to suit your personal preferences. Potential issues with transparency and/or black borders will depend on your hardware setup but are mostly fixable with some simple edits that are already documented in the appropriate forums. The install instructions will vary depending on which distro you have. http://www.teejeetech.in/p/conky-manager.html Themes for Superkaramba can either be loaded from the online source using the program GUI, or installed from a downloaded file. Again, you can edit any of these to create your own custom themes. Many of the Superkaramba themes come in sets so you can choose which one or several from a set to display if you don't want the whole lot showing on your desktop. http://kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=38

Thank you. I have a lot of information now. It always helps to have as much information as possible before the final step.
Am I looking at Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS above? This doesn't look like the Unity DE at all. There is also a mention of KDE in that little "User Machine" window ![]() Regards

This is one of those "based on" distros which is why the system monitor picks it up as being 14.04. In fact it is Makulu, KDE version and using Compiz as the window manager. None of this is "standard" in relation to the parent Ubuntu 14.04 but it does make for a far better and more interesting result.
